On Patriotism

"Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism."
-Kenny Powers from HBO's Eastbound & Down

Mila Kunis Accepts YouTube Invite to Military Ball

As I've said before, this blog supports the troops. Apparently so does Mila Kunis. Sgt. Scott Moore of the 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines, stationed in Musa Qala, Afghanistan, asked Mila Kunis to the Marine Corp Ball in Greenville, NC on November 18th. Here's the video of Sgt. Moore asking her to the Ball:

Fox reports that Kunis saw the video and agreed to accompany Sgt. Moore to the ball. But, get this, the Marine had one of heck a wingman. Justin Timberlake helped convince Mila that she should go to the ball with Sgt. Moore. And here's a picture of Mila Kunis just for the fun of it:

Songs of America Taking You into the Weekend

At about 3:30 today, I will begin my trip down to Tuckerton, New Jersey, where I will be spending my 4th of July weekend. While I'm there, I don't plan on updating my blog at all. Tuesday afternoon, I will be flying home to Indiana, and will continue to update from there. Since I won't be posting any new songs between now and Tuesday, I'm leaving y'all with my 5 favorite songs about America. Enjoy. Also, in the midst of all your festivities this weekend, remember that freedom isn't free. Many men and women gave their lives for this country, for its values, and for you. To them, I say thank you. This blog supports our troops in all of their efforts to keep us safe and free. God bless.

1. The Star Spangled Banner performed by Jim Cornelison of the Chicago Blackhawks

Okay, so I really like this song, too, so I'm adding it as a bonus. It's American Soldier by Toby Keith.

America!

I'm reposting this image from TFM (www.totalfratmove.com). It seemed very appropriate for this upcoming holiday weekend. Instead of just stealing this image and leaving the post at that, I'm going to offer my personal analysis on it, as well.

So this guy has just purchased a 30 rack of Budweiser. An excellent choice for this weekend--how awesome do the new Bud heavy cans look with the American flag pattern on them? Very awesome. But, just having the Ameri-CANS wasn't enough for this bro. On top of that, he's got not one, but two American flags on top of the case.

Not to mention, his outfit. You really can't go wrong with chinos, a tucked in oxford with the sleeves 3/4 rolled up, nice belt and shoes, and a watch. The whole country needs to get on this guy's level.

I have no idea who this is, except for the fact that the photo was posted by someone from North Carolina with the handle SouthernProper, but you sir, are an American hero.
